How to add one extension to standard stack after Pinky?

Question

From this article I understand that after September 14th CloudControl will have PHP 5.6 as new standard PHP version and a list of extensions enabled by default.

I understood that these extensions are only loaded once no extensions are specified in composer.json.

Does this mean that if one e.g. wants to activate apcu for the standard behaviour he has to mention not only apcu but any other extension which is required?

Yes, it is required to list all extensions in this case.

Hm, ok, but this can really cause some pain, but I will give it a try. – LBA Sep 07 '15 at 09:49

For an easy start the default extensions are added. As soon as you are working with additional extension you are aware of the concept of extensions, so there shoud be no big hurdle to define the necessary extensions in your composer.json. The default extensions are also listed in the build process. – TooAngel Sep 08 '15 at 12:20
